This Walking Foot (sometimes called an Even Feed Foot) is not as complicated as it looks!

It has a set of feed dogs which means that the top layer of fabric will feed through your machine at the same speed as the lower layer of fabric. This prevents that awkward situation where you end up with extra fabric on the top layer at the end of your seam!

Also great for:

Matching stripes & plaids

Quilting (an essential tool for quilting!)

Topstitching

Fits most low shank machines (if your machine has a snap-on foot, simply remove the foot and then unscrew the foot holder. Slide the walking foot onto the shaft, ensure that the foot's arm sits above the machine's needle screw and replace the screw to hold it in place).

For best results when quilting increase your stitch length to 3 or 4. If the foot is slipping try increasing the presser foot pressure on your machine.
